Yep. Authorship is one thing. Ownership is another.
Paul has been fighting this for a long time.
Authors get a royalty. Owners get another.
But owners can allow dog food companies to use the songs for a fee. The author still gets a royalty per play, but has no say over who can use the song.
I own over 50 copyrights. I've never sold the rights to anyone. If someone wants to record one of my songs, they need a physical release from me. Correct?
If they want to do a dog food commercial with one, they need permission.
And a contract.
No?
